                   connection with Kochas P.S. Case No. 70 of 2026 registered for

                   the alleged offences under Sections 303(2) and 318(4) r/w

                                03. As per prosecution case, two miscreants gave

                   inducement for purchase of two gold ingots to the informant

                   who had just withdrawn Rs. 30,000/- from bank but the

                   informant refused. Still, one of the miscreants took Rs. 30,000/-

                   and handed over two gold ingots to the informant who

                   subsequently came to know that it was false gold. The informant

                   raised alarm and this petitioner was apprehended but other co-

                   accused persons fled away from the spot.
